Landscape Lighting for Your Home
What is the latest trend in landscape illumination? At this time, low voltage landscape lighting is a hot product that appeals to homeowners and hardscape designers. As a general rule of thumb, it uses less than 50 volts of power. Therefore, most low voltage landscape lights have built-in transformers. They allow for the reduction of voltage from your electrical system and enable shoppers to buy fixtures with much smaller bulbs.
